Sticks and Stones.

I was recently deleted by a Facebook "friend" because he had a status where he was bashing women and I had the nerve to stand up to him. Not only was I deleted -I was called a crazy whore, a stupid b****, along with many other crude names. The sad thing was.. it wasn't only by this one "friend". Most of the name calling came from guys I didn't know and who CERTAINLY didn't know me.

Now, I understand that people are entitled to voice their opinions -I constantly voice my own. But when you post something hurtful, spiteful and just plain rude.. don't be surprised when someone contradicts you, and don't be so ignorant as to shut out anyone else's opinion when they happen to disagree with what you have to say.

To help you get a better understanding of the situation, this guy was posting about how all women are attention whores -blah blah blah. Part of the status was about how abnoxious it is that women with fake breasts have to flaunt it all over Facebook. Which in all honesty, it is annoying. The thing that got ME however, was that he posted this.. but his profile picture is of him flexing in the mirror with his shirt off, so I found it a LITTLE hypocritical -and I let him know haha.

Why is there so much trash talk about one sex or the other? Come on people. Women do it to men as well but I think I just take more notice when men do it. You can't classify an entire gender in a little bubble -it's just not possible. No two women are EXACTLY alike, just as no two men are EXACTLY alike. And when there is someone who bad-mouths.. why are you tearing someone down just for disagreeing with you by STICKING UP FOR THEMSELVES?!

It especially ticks me off when guys gang up on a girl and ridicule her publicly. I don't think they understand how damaging it can be. I'm not just talking about this instance with Facebook (and I'd be lying if I said it didn't hurt my feelings) but in general. We already have enough pressure on ourselves to be what the media percieves as perfection. We don't need guys ruining what little self-esteem we DO have.

So all I can say to anyone who has gone through this is -there is probably a reason this Facebook "friend" is single, never let someone else try to define you when they obviously have no clue, always stick up for yourself and what you believe in, and never.. NEVER take crap from ANYONE. Pray this kid never runs into me in real life because he can't just "delete" me from existance, and I definitely have a bone to pick.
